A Favorite Full Body Workout

I enjoy coming up with my own workouts and every once in a while I put together a workout I just “love”.  This is one of them.  I’ve been doing this on Fridays for the last 3 weeks and every time I’ve  felt it the next day (and a for few days afterwards).  

Full Body Workout

A. Pull Ups & Negatives* – 10 (I do as many pull ups as possible then finish off the 10 with negatives, i.e. 2 pull ups and 8 negatives)
B. Single Leg Deadlifts – 12 each leg (Doing these unweighted as long as I do them slow and use full range of motion makes my bum so sore.)
C. Push Ups – To Failure (Right now it’s about 17-20)

Do A-C without resting only if you have to between sets.  Rest 1-2 minutes after C before repeating for a total of 3 sets of each.

A. Arnold Press – 12  reps
B. Jump Squats – To Failure (For me right now it’s about 20-24 & I don’t swing my arms like him b/c I’d fall over backwards.)
C. Lat Pull Down – 12 reps 

Do A-C without resting between sets.  Rest 1-2 minutes after C before repeating for a total of 3 sets of each.

Don’t forget to pay tribute to Gumbi and stretch.

The best part of this workout is that it only takes me about 25 minutes.  

*If you can’t do a pull up or don’t know what negatives are watch this video.  It’s super helpful.  

Happy Monday.  I’m trying.

    Thanks so much for posting this! I’ve been working (almost all day today) on re-vamping my workouts to add a little more intensity and I had NO CLUE where to start. Your tri-set structure is awesome! I used it to design my new upper body workouts…I can’t wait to try it!

    Thanks again,

    Allie

    Allie – Thanks for stopping by and I’m glad you found something helpful. About six months ago I did some Alwyn Cosgrove workouts that were set up like this and I really really liked them. Been coming back to this set up ever since.
